"Damn it, how dare they hurt our Third Young Master! Everyone, attack them together and cripple them!"

One of Chu Jianfei's bodyguards shouted angrily.

The bodyguards immediately prepared to attack Chen Yun and Long Pingting, and even the security guards pulled out their batons, ready to step forward and help.

But Long Pingting remained calm and composed. She casually lifted Chu Jianfei up from the ground, grabbed a kitchen knife from the table, and held it to Chu Jianfei's throat.

He said coldly, "Anyone who dares to make a move will be the first to be dealt with."

The bodyguards and security guards at the scene were immediately stunned.

They were both shocked and furious, but dared not step forward rashly.

They could only stand there, cursing angrily, "Release our Third Young Master immediately!"

Although Chu Jianfei was being held hostage by Long Pingting with a knife, he showed no fear whatsoever. He gritted his teeth and threatened, "You dare to touch me? You're all dead! I'll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs!"

"If you know what's good for you, release me right now."

"Only in this way can your families be spared; otherwise, your entire family will be wiped out!"

Chen Yun's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Long Pingting was also furious and coldly retorted, "Can't you handle me?"

After saying that, he turned around and stabbed Chu Jianfei in the thigh with the knife in his hand.

puff!

The knife pierced through the pants and into the thigh, instantly drawing blood.

"ah!"

Chu Jianfei screamed in agony, his face pale and covered in sweat.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguards and security guards around them launched into another round of angry curses.

Just then, an old man dressed in cloth clothes and shoes, with a goatee, arrived in a hurry with a group of his men.

Upon seeing this, the old man with the goatee shouted, "Stop!"

Upon seeing the old man with the goatee, Chu Jianfei became excited and immediately cried out for help: "Master Sun, save me!"

It turned out that the old man with the goatee was a guest of the Chu family named Sun Lianchang, who was specifically there to protect Chu Jianfei.

Sun Lianchang glared at Long Pingting and said in a deep voice, "Little girl, release our Third Young Master immediately!"

Long Pingting smiled and said, "Then you'll have to ask Mr. Chen if he agrees."

Sun Lianchang was taken aback upon hearing this, then noticed the handsome man with eyes like stars next to Long Pingting and realized that this was the young master Chen that Long Pingting had mentioned.

He suppressed his temper and said, "Boy, immediately have your men release the Third Young Master, and I can plead with him on your behalf to be lenient with you, at least guaranteeing that you'll be spared your lives."

Chen Yun chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "So, I should be grateful to you?"

Sun Lianchang nodded arrogantly and said, "That's right!"

“The Third Young Master is the most beloved son of our King of Jiangnan. No matter the reason, if you dare to touch him, you will be sentenced to death.”

"Now release them as I say, and then accept your punishment. This is your only way out!"

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

Even Zhao Qingyu looked tense, sobering up from her drunkenness.

Chen Yun and Long Pingting exchanged a smile after hearing the old man's words.

Chen Yun laughed and said, "Excuse me, but first of all, I don't like to walk the path that others have given me. I prefer to step on other people's blood and forge my own path!"

"Secondly, I must tell you something: the high and mighty King of Jiangnan in your heart is nothing more than an ant that I can crush at any time."

Everyone present was stunned by Chen Yun's arrogant words.

Sun Lianchang's face was full of gloom, and he said in a somber tone, "You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

After saying that, he secretly prepared to strike first, intending to make a move with lightning speed.

Even if the Third Young Master gets injured, we must forcibly rescue him and then tear Chen Yun and Long Pingting to pieces!

The group of men behind him, along with Chu Jianfei's bodyguards and a group of security guards from Jun'an Hotel.

Each one of them was equally eyeing the situation, ready to strike at any moment.

Just as tensions were about to rise...

Sudden.

A series of rapid footsteps came from the restaurant entrance.

Everyone turned to look.

There stood a tall, beautiful woman wearing a white business suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and white high heels.

He appeared with hundreds of men in suits, exuding a menacing aura.

This tall, beautiful woman is Lin Anni, Long Pingting's special assistant.

The more than one hundred men in suits behind Lin Anni were all security guards from Zhonglong Group.

It turns out that when Long Pingting was holding Chu Jianfei hostage, seeing that the other side had a large number of people, she sent a text message to her assistant using her mobile phone.

Zhonglong Group is located right across from Junan Hotel.

So Lin Anni quickly gathered a group of security guards and rushed over to provide support.

The security guards from Zhonglong Group were selected from retired soldiers of the Northern Border Army, as instructed by Chen Yun.

Although they were wearing black suits, they all stood up straight and walked with powerful strides.

They followed in Lin Anni's footsteps, a dark mass of them walking over, giving people a powerful sense of oppression, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it, or a thousand troops marching on!

Some people at the scene recognized them by the company logo on their suits and exclaimed in surprise.

"These look like security guards from Zhonglong Group!"

"My God, it really is a security guard from Zhonglong Group!"

"Why are the security guards from Zhonglong Group here?"

When Sun Lianchang learned that the people in front of him were from Zhonglong Group, he wondered what they were doing there.

Could it be that they're here for business receptions?

He patiently said to Lin Anni, "Hello, there's a slight issue at our Jun'an Hotel that we're currently working on to resolve. We're temporarily unable to conduct business receptions. Please leave as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Lin Anni said coldly, "There's no misunderstanding, we came here specifically for you!"

After saying that, he didn't bother to look at the shocked expressions of Sun Lianchang and the others. He led a group of security guards and walked straight up to Chen Yun and Long Pingting, saying respectfully, "Mr. Chen, President Long, your subordinate is late. Please punish me."

Boss Long!

Chu Jianfei was stunned.

Sun Lianchang and the others were also dumbfounded.

Only then did they realize that Chen Yun's beautiful subordinate was actually the president of Zhonglong Group!

In an instant, their expressions changed drastically.

Long Pingting said calmly, "You've arrived at just the right time, neither too early nor too late. Everyone is at Mr. Chen's disposal."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Boss Long!"

Lin Anni looked at Chen Yun and asked respectfully, "Mr. Chen, is there anything we can do for you?"

Chen Yun glanced around the scene and said casually, "I don't really like the style of this hotel. Let them smash it up and renovate it!"

Lin Anni replied, "Yes!"

Sun Lianchang flew into a rage: "How dare you?"

Lin Anni raised her pretty face and said loudly, "Those who are not involved in the scene can leave now to avoid being accidentally injured."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers all turned and left.

Lin Anni waved her hand and ordered her subordinates behind her: "Smash it!"

More than 100 security guards from Zhonglong Group pulled out batons and began smashing things.

rattling, rattling, rattling...

In an instant, the restaurant was a complete mess.

Sun Lianchang's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Everyone, attack! Beat them to death!"

Instantly, the two sides clashed, and the scene descended into chaos.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Sun Lianchang launched a surprise attack on Chen Yun.

He moved with the agility of a monkey and the speed of lightning, instantly appearing in front of Chen Yun and unleashing a powerful punch at him, growling, "Lie down!"

The fist slammed through the air with a whooshing sound, heading straight for Chen Yun's face.

"Trying to teach a fish to swim!"

Chen Yun shook his head, raised his left hand, casually deflected the other person's fist, and threw a punch with his right hand, smashing it into Sun Lianchang's face.

Snap!

This punch was like a giant axe splitting a mountain, or a broadsword chopping a tree.

Sun Lianchang's facial bones were shattered, blood splattered, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

He fell to the ground, kicked his legs, and lay straight up, motionless.
